Race Horse to Sport Horse Takes Time and Patience

Jan 30, 2012

She has been affectionate right from the beginning–which made it so discouraging when she was such a touchy bold forward racehorse for so long with just the presentation of a saddle and bridle—but the last couple of weeks—she is being that big goofy teddy bear puppy dog everywhere now instead of just the times when tack was not involved. She still can get uncertain…and when she does she tries to boldly bluff her way thru like she knows everything there is to know about what she is doing—but is pretty rare of late.

Eleanor’s Groom Well Balanced & Athletic

Jul 1, 2010

Hi Elizabeth – Yes, I just had to say “thanks” to Becky for helping me get the Eleanor’s Groom (plus I’d been in the file for the brand inspector and ran across her #!!).  “Jack” is doing great…he is a teenager so I have to stay on top of things (no pun intended) but he…

Gold Charm

Sep 13, 2011

Gold Commander One is the barn charmer. Everyone, despite themselves, loves this big guy. Frankly, he puts the warmbloods to shame with his good mind and pleasant manners. He enjoys his work, the attention, and being out in the ring with other horses. He also likes to watch other lessons, just like Becky said he watched other horses at the track exercise in the morning.

Second Level – Next Stop Third

I’m training full time with Marie Morgan and clinicing regularly with Debbie Bowman. As for my beloved OTTB, Cadence and I are on our journey to Third Level!!!!! He’s such a special horse.

In addition, we are focusing our schooling efforts on Third.

“Moose” is the Popular One at his New Home

I wanted to give you an update on “Moose” (Popular One). He is the love of my husband’s life! (next to me, I hope)! My husband, Nick, has never been around horses before. He has been taught how to halter and lead horses and is the one who brings “Moose” in from the pasture at…

Proceeding Slowly is a Positive Experience for Carmac

Oct 21, 2008

I still have not sat on Carmac yet. I am taking things slow and trying to do this correctly. I started lunging him in side reins this weekend so that he can get used to contact and he is doing great! I have him doing transitions and even some stretching on the lunge line. I…

A June Affair Finds a Home in Tennessee

Nov 10, 2010

I must admit that I felt like a kid on Christmas morning as I waited for you to pull down the driveway with my new horse, A June Affair. It doesn’t seem to matter what age I get to be because I never loose the joy and love a beautiful horse gives to me. Especially….the Thoroughbred. The incredible, wonderful, big hearted OTTB!

Every Adult Woman will Appreciate – Your Husband on Your Horse!?!

Feb 21, 2009

Outflankem aka “Bailey” is still learning to give to the bit, but Neil is doing a great job of keeping his hands and seat quiet, and it’s taking less and less time for Bailey to relax and reach down. I may be biased, but I think they look very handsome together!
